Stow Wengenroth Lithographs
The American lithographer, Stow Wengenroth (1906-1978), perfected the art of transferring a
drawing to a smoothed limestone surface to convey both the texture of the natural world and
subtleties of atmosphere and mood. The settings for Wengenroth's lithographs are drawn from
natural and inhabited landscapes in Maine, Cape Ann, Massachusetts and other locations in the
northeast.
Of the 369 lithographs produced by Wengenroth during his lifetime, 367 were collected and
generously donated to the Brown University Library by Lyman G. Bloomingdale, Class of 1935,
along with over 40 of Wengenroth's original dry-brush drawings.
